IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO FUEL ELEMENTS FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4695200
Enclosure of reactor fuel in ceramic or cermet form in a cylinder of porous material (graphite or graphiteceramic) around which the containing metal membrane is placed provides voidage for the fission product gases and gives structural strength to the fuel element so formed. Pressure buildup inside the eiement is prevented, and the metal container can be made thinner. (D.C.W.)
